Remembrance and Respect—The Wall That Heals, a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. was on display in Windsor from March 28 to 31. In addition to the wall replica, there was an mobile education center about the war and the memorial as well as the traditional POW/MIA Empty Chair display. On Saturday, March 30, Chief Carlos Basurto led a brief ceremony with speakers that included a Gold Star widow, a reading of names of Sonoma County residents memorialized on the wall (59 in total) followed a 59 second moment of silence to remember them, and then a bagpiper playing Amazing Grace.
